Bah! Active whitespace is the work of the devil. Anybody who has had to find where the tabs have been replaced by spaces in a Unix Makefile knows this. If you want nice indentation you can easily do that, as a matter of style, but it should not be enforced as a matter of grammar. I like other features of Python, but using indentation to specify (more like imply) scope is just wrong (IMHO).
